When ready to serve, top each custard with 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar.

Make sure you have pumpkin puree and NOT pumpkin pie filling.
Don’t skip straining the custard! This ensures no cooked eggs in your crème brûlée.
The bake time will vary based on size and shape of your ramekins.
Be careful not to get water in the custards!
Use about 1/2 – 1 Tablespoon of sugar on top of the ramekins
If you have a kettle, it’s the easiest way to boil your water!
If you’re using a creme brûlée pan, you don’t need to put a towel in the bottom of the pan.
